Today Austrian Airlines opens its own Priority Check-in Zone at Vienna Airport for premium customers. Senators, Star Gold ticket holders and Business Class passengers have a total of ten Senator and Business Class counters at their disposal in a specially partitioned area encompassing more than 300m². The priority zone offers clear advantages to Business Class passengers and frequent flyers: not only short distances but quick check-in is possible effective immediately. This is because the priority zone enables passengers to take the shortest route to boarding pass control and security screening via direct access to the fast lanes.

Due to its proximity to the Austrian Airlines ticket and excess baggage counters, the priority zone links all relevant check-in areas in a central location.

The new Priority Check-in Zone is located in the departure area of Terminal 3 and features a white, streamlined shell with quotations from the world of flying as well as aerodynamically twisted lamellae. Inside one finds baroque Austrian ornaments in a modern context. The new check-in counters were built in cooperation with Vienna Airport.
